Access Restricted is a free nomadic lecture series that opens rarely visited and often prohibited spaces in Lower Manhattan to the general public. Once inside these unique interiors, the audience is treated to a site-specific lecture and discussion addressing a range of topics revolving around issues of architectural history and preservation, social justice, and urban development. The aim of these interpretive events is to foster new perspectives by encouraging the public to explore locales and situations through the various lenses of architecture and planning, art, history, sociology, political science and law.
